-The hellfire warlock class offers great power at the expense of versatility. This prestige class presents a focused approach to tap the power of the Nine Hells, though often at a grave price. As they advance, these warlocks can access greater uses of hellfire, including the ability to infuse magic items with the power of hellfire and lash out with the fires of Hell against any foe that strikes them.
-All of the following are class features of the hellfire warlock prestige class.
+===== Requirements =====
-**Hellfire Blast**: Whenever you use your eldritch blast ability, you can change your eldritch blast into a hell fire blast. A hellfire blast deals your normal eldritch blast damage plus an extra 2d6 points of damage per class level. If your blast hits multiple targets (for example, the eldritch chain or eldritch cone blast shape invocations), each target takes the extra damage. This damage is not fire damage. Hellfire burns hotter than any normal fire.
+Skills: Intimidate 6 ranks, Lore 12 ranks, Spellcraft 6 ranks.
+Warlock Invocation: Must know brimstone blast or hellrime blast.
+Special: a book of Hellfire Warlock is required to unlock the class.
-Hellfire is the creation of Mephistopheles, archduke of Cania. Hotter than the hottest flames of any world, hellfire burns with a white-hot glow and is capable of burning through even the hardest of substances. Hellfire does not deal fire damage, despite its flames. Even creatures with immunity or resistance to fire take full normal damage from these hellish flames. Hellfire also deals full damage to objects, unlike normal fire damage.
+===== Level Progression =====
-Each time you use this ability, you take 1 point of Constitution damage. Because the diabolical forces behind the power of hellfire demand part of your essence in exchange for this granted power, if you do not have a Constitution score or are somehow immune to Constitution damage, you cannot use this ability.
+^ Level ^ Base Attack Bonus ^ Fort Save ^ Ref Save ^ Will Save ^ Class Features ^ Invocations ^
+| 1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +2 | Hellfire Blast | +1 level of existing invoking class |
+| 2 | +1 | +0 | +0 | +3 | Bonus Invocation | +1 level of existing invoking class |
+| 3 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +3 | Resistance to Fire | +1 level of existing invoking class |
+| 4 | +3 | +1 | +1 | +4 | Bonus Invocation | +1 level of existing invoking class |
+| 5 | +3 | +1 | +1 | +4 | Hellfire Shield | +1 level of existing invoking class |
-**Invoking**: At each level, you gain new invocations known, increased damage with eldritch blast, and an increase in invoker level as if you had also gained a level in the warlock class. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.
+===== Class Features =====
-**Resistance to Fire 10**: At 2nd level, you gain 10%ˇimmunity to fire.
+^ Feature ^ Level(s) ^ Description ^
+| Hellfire Blast | 1 | Adds 1d6 hellfire damage per Hellfire Warlock level to an eldritch blast. The extra damage applies to every target hit by a multi-target blast shape. Each use inflicts 8 points of damage on the Hellfire Warlock per Hellfire Warlock level; a character without a Constitution score or immune to Constitution damage cannot use the ability. Use: Selected. |
+| Resistance to Fire | 3 | At level 3, gain 10% immunity to fire. This stacks with any resistance to fire gained from Warlock class levels. Use: Automatic. |
+| Hellfire Shield | 5 | Surrounds the Hellfire Warlock with a blazing aura. A creature that hits the character takes 1d6 + caster level hellfire damage; the effect lasts 1 round per caster level. Each use inflicts 8 points of fire damage on the Hellfire Warlock per Hellfire Warlock level. Activation has no casting animation, but follows the normal activation delay: once per round, or twice per round while hasted. Use: Selected. |
+| Bonus Invocation | 2, 4 | Gain one additional invocation known at each listed level. Use: Selected. |
-**Hellfire Infusion**: Starting at 2nd level, you can infuse magic items that you wield with the power of hellfire. Whenever you use a charged magic item (such as a wand or a staff ), you can apply one of the following metamagic effects to your next use of the item: empower, enlarge, widen, or energy substitution. These effects work just like the metamagic feats of the same name. Using hellfire infusion is a swift action. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum one). When you infuse an item with hellfire, it glows briefly with fiery symbols that are disturbing to look upon.
-**Hellfire Shield**: Starting at 3rd level, you can call up hellfire to surround yourself with a protective barrier. Whenever someone directs a melee attack against you, you can, as an immediate action, aim a blast of hellfire at that creature. This blast deals damage equal to your eldritch blast (including bonus damage from the hellfire blast ability). This blast automatically strikes the target, which can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier).
-Each time you use this ability, you take 1 point of Constitution damage. Because the diabolical forces behind the power of hellfire demand part of your essence in exchange for this granted power, if you do not have a Constitution score or are somehow immune to Constitution damage, you cannot use this ability.
